This property is fantastic. Beautiful grounds and garden, large amount of space, incredible game area including a new SuperChex domed hockey game, and a spacious screened in outdoor porch. It is very close to Glen Arbor, the Sleeping Bear Dunes and Glen Lake. The layout is perfect because the game area is on one end of the house away from most of the bedrooms. And it has a large separate living area over the garage that has a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen area and pull out couch. We had a group of 13 and were comfortable all the time. We will definitely stay here again. Rob W.

We had a wonderful stay at this large, beautiful and comfortable home. It worked really well for our larger group as the bedrooms are spread out and we especially enjoyed having the room over the garage available for our family members who wanted a bit more privacy. The location is perfect for outdoor recreation and very close to the cute town of Glen Arbor. We enjoyed breakfast at The Mill and kayaking on the Crystal River as well as hiking the dunes and a cold plunge in Lake Michigan. The home has a large screened porch where we spent mornings with coffee and evenings with a glass of wine. Hot tub is also a bonus. The home has lovely landscaping as well. We give a 5 Star rating and hope to visit again!

Annual Family/Friend Glen Arbor Trip

The house was a perfect fit for our large group. We liked having the ability to spread out and the house was extremely quiet which was a plus with a large group. The location was great, quick bike ride to town or a short walk. There were plenty of things to keep our teenagers/young adults entertained.

Smitty's was perfect. Huge house with everything a big group needs. Kid friendly, I would say (we had a 2 and a 9 with us). Walking distance to downtown area (1 mile) and short drive to dunes, beaches, boat rentals, etc etc. Couldn't be happier.

We had a great stay. The photos online match the actual house. We were a large group and enjoyed all the room to spread out. The sun porch invites you to relax while watching hummingbirds at nearby feeders. We ate most of our meals in and found the kitchen user friendly. James Smith, the host of this property was likewise friendly and relaxed. We had 6 young children with us, James’s demeanor set us at ease, the kids felt welcome and the parents relaxed I would recommend this home and it’s host

Great Family Getaway Spot

Absolutely loved this property! We had an extended family of twelve people aged 11-75 who comfortably slept, ate, and played together here for a week. Property is a mile away from Glen Arbor and we walked there more than once. We all enjoyed the hot tub, ping pong table, basketball goal and fire pit. The grounds are beautiful and we were able to use some of the vegetables in the garden and wild berries from the woods. Would definitely book here again!

We had a wonderful stay in this gorgeous house full of so many amenities. Excellent location for the 13 people in our party 16-58 y old. We enjoyed all the multiple spaces, including hot tub, four seasons room, basketball, work out area and fire pit. Everyone was able to have their privacy and there was no issue with bathrooms. The house was very well stocked. This area has so much to do, we had bikes and kayaks, enjoyed beaches, boating on the lake and the small towns including traverse city. Will definitely return.

The 50th wedding anniversary trip of our dreams.

We gathered our adult kids and grandkids (totaling 14) to join us for a week together. We hiked, kayaked, shopped, ate ice cream, and played pickleball. Inside the grandkids were thrilled with the game room and we loved that it was separate from the room we adults enjoyed. The screened in porch is where we spent most of our time. We cooked our meals in the spacious kitchen. The walk to Glen Arbor was easy. And we LOVED all the flowers on the property - gorgeous. The part of the house we loved the most is that it is so spread out! It gave everyone the space they needed, and yet, we were all together.

4th July First Timers to MI

My group loved the house and felt the photos did not do it justice. It is much larger than it appears in the pictures! One thing that we noticed was that there were no window treatments on the windows. While privacy wasn't really an issue being in the woods, we agreed that a little something would be nice. The pantry was a life saver! And saved us more than once during the week. A "Things to do and see" binder with local restaurants, beaches, rental informatiion (bikes,boats etc) would be nice. Overall we had an awesome stay, and the strawberries from the garden were fabulous!

Betsy, It was a pleasure to meet your family (at check in) and your very nice friends ironically (at checkout). We do hope you all had fun and that you enjoyed the Glen Arbor area as well as the NW MI region. We have been blessed this year (our first renting in awhile) with great guests like your party also. It is so appreciated when a rental party such as yours takes the care to leave the place in great shape for the next group coming in. It makes our job so much easier. Thank you for your feedback. It is the only way we know for sure what our guests want and expect. We have waivered for years on should we or shouldn't we with respect to blinds, curtains or shades. The privacy of the woods always won out especially now that the kids are older and on their own. We are listening though so I imagine we will be addressing additional window treatments at some level in the off season. We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to post your suggestions. Thank You, The Smiths

Beautiful Home in Amazing Surroundings

My whole family of 13 stayed at Smitty's for a week this summer and we had an amazing time. The house is even better than the pictures (both inside and out). The gardens are beautiful and perfectly maintained, and completely surround the house. You can tell the owners love this huge house as well. There is a beautiful, new kitchen, several updated bathrooms, and the 2 lofts are unique and fun. We had some bad weather, but being "stuck" here was the best possible place to be. The kids had fun in the rec room and hot tub, while the adults loved hanging out on the enclosed porch gazing at the gardens. Finally the house is sprawling and has several "living areas" for people to gather and hang out in. This was particularly nice as one group could play music and games in one area and not be heard by the rest of the people sleeping in the house.

Reclusive Spot Near Town

We found Smittys GA a very relaxing and accommodating place to stay. Though we were only a few minutes from Glen Arbor, Lake Michigan, & Big Glen Lake, we felt we were in a retreat deep in the woods. I originally wanted something on the water, but had absolutely no regrets with this rental. The property is as pictured in the photos, but the pictures cannot portray the openness of the rooms and the serenity of the place. There are three distinct 'living' spaces - five if you include the front and back decks. My husbands favorite spot was the back deck with its comfortable seating and view of the garden and woods. He wished he had another week to enjoy the peace. Everyone enjoyed conversing around the fire pit in the evening. There were places to gather and places to retreat. The game room and basketball court kept the younger members of our party busy. If you are looking for a private spot to gather with your family, but want to be close to everything, then this is the place for you.

Beautiful home in Glen Arbor

This large home l all 14 of us well! This is our 9th year as a family coming up here and we love it! The house is 1.14 miles from Glen Arbor but an easy bike ride. We love the Cherry Republic and there is a park with pickle ball, tennis, basketball hoops and playground. The house has a well stocked pantry and spice cabinet. Our family cooks for the large group every night and there are plenty of pots, pans, 2 crock pots, an instapot and plates/silverware. The bathrooms have plenty of toilet paper, hand soap at the sinks and towels as well as a few beach towels. We enjoyed the large hot tub on the deck as well as the high end 5 burner grill for cook outs. James left us quarters for the hockey game in the weight room and the boys were able to work out a couple of times with the universal gym and free weights. Inside the garage there are 6 beach chairs to use as well as a ping pong table, air hockey table and fussball table. Our boys enjoyed the basketball hoop in the driveway and the owner also left a brand new basketball. Great house in a perfect location that accommodates our large group very well!

Coast to Coast family

From Portland, OR to NYC and three other locations we gathered at "Right in the Middle of IT" for a wonderful seven days of talking, cooking, relaxing, exploring villages and wineries and other sites, hot tubing, and more. It is a beautiful home that met our needs. The house was immaculate, large and welcoming. There were plenty of places to hang out and it was so spacious we sometimes headed in the wrong direction to our intended place. The kitchen was huge and filled with every item that you could imagine needing--multiple cooking utensils, a Swedish waffle iron, 3 crockpots if it a cold day and soup sounds good. Two kitchen sinks in the spacious kitchen provided cleanup from all the abundance of farm fresh ingredients from strawberries to fish to steak to zucchini and much, much more. James responded quickly when we messaged him on two occasions. There is a great firepit for a perfect place to end the day at a wonderful VRBO! It was conveniently located so many locations and water opportunities were all around and easily accessed. The bedrooms and baths were convenient and well outfitted with towels and beach towels. The home was beautifully furnished but it was very comfortable and welcoming. We all agreed it was the perfect place for us!

We met early in 1996, were married in may of 1997, sold our homes, left our jobs, got new jobs, combined two families, bought this home and moved up here to start one new life together in August of 1997. Thinking back it makes us tired just to tell the story

Go out on the deck at midnight on a clear summer night and look up - you will begin to understand.

Vad som gör detta boende unikt

I am allowed 2000 characters to explain why and its probably not enough. Maybe it was the tree frog stuck to the glass of our front door during a warm summer rain. Maybe it was the distant howling of coyotes deep in the woods late at night or then again maybe it was the cement trucks buried in the mud up to their fenders a hundred yards into a forest (our front yard) during construction.
Or maybe it was just the countless other construction projects done for others or the days, weeks and years of us working out of town to make this all possible.
In the end it simply comes down to the land, the magnificent water that abounds in the area, the unpredictable climate and what we have gone through to tame this land and build a home that provides us constant comfort in an unpredictable changing climate.
We have slowly over 15 years time, carved our homestead out of what, after a storm has knocked out power for few days, sometimes seems like pure wilderness. This is such a beautiful place but when a late November windstorm roars in from the West, and the leafless trees are swaying 10 feet at the tops or a mid-winter snowstorm from the North drifts 3 feet of snow on the deck the day before the temperature plummets to zero, we are reminded that our presence at our quiet little place in the woods is up to the good graces of mother nature.
And that's okay we prefer it that way.
